Haven’t we seen this before?
This is far from the first time we’ve seen OnePlus experiment with wood-effect finish for its cases. Go all the way back to 2014 and a bamboo style case was offered alongside the originalOnePlus One- so perhaps this move is a nod to its first device as the company prepares to celebrate its tenth anniversary.
It’s more likely the image shows a case with a wood-effect finish rather than the actual rear of the OnePlus 12, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually a different material made to look like wood grain. Although, we have seen manufacturers experiment with materials for the rear of handsets - who can forget the leather-cladLG G4? So we’re not ruling out a real-wood finish entirely.
OnePlus even experimented with a different material for a special edition of theOnePlus 11. Known as the Jupiter Rock edition in China, and Marble Odyssey in India, the rear finish was made from 3D microcrystalline rock - a material which OnePlus claimed had a 25% lower manufacturing efficiency, and 50% less yield than glass.
The OnePlus 12 is shaping up to be one of thebest Android phonesfor 2024 with apowerful 64MP camera,100W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, asuper-bright 2600 nits screen, and Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset all touted to feature in the flagship device.

It may not arrive alone either, with a ‘series’ of phones rumoured for launch andtalk of a OnePlus 12Rhas been swirling online. With the China launch for the OnePlus 12 now a little over a week away, we’ll soon find out how this intriguing wooden finish is incorporated.
